How large an expansion gap should be left between steel railroad rails if they may reach a maximum temperature 36.0°C greater th

Answer:

11 mm

Explanation:

Original length L' = 26 m

Increase in temperature dT = 36.0°C

The gap l =?

The coefficient of linear expansion for steel & = 12 × 10^−6 per °C

The gap will be gotten from the equation of linear expansion.

l = L' x & x dT

substituting, we have

L = 26 x 12 × 10^−6 x 36

L = 0.011 m = 11 mm

This problem follows up on a discussion from lecture. A wind turbine with an efficiency of 45% for converting wind energy into e
Volgvan

Answer:

4.1 m

Explanation:

10 kW = 10000 W

20mi/h = 20*1.6 km/mi = 32 km/h = 32 * 1000 (m/km) *(1/3600) hr/s = 8.89 m/s

The power yielded by the wind turbine can be calculated using the following formula

P = \frac{1}{2} \rho v^3 A C_p

where \rho = 1.2 kg/m^3 is the air density, v = 8.89 m/s is the wind speed, A is the swept area and C_p = 0.45 is the efficiency

10000 = 0.5 * 1.2 * 8.89^3 * A * 0.45

10000 = 190A

A = 10000 / 190 = 52.7 m^2

The swept area is a circle with radius r being the blade length

\pi r^2 = A = 52.7

r^2 = 52.7 / \pi = 16.79

r = \sqrt{16.79} = 4.1 m

What law states force is dependent on the mass and acceleration of an object
UNO [17]

Answer:

Newton's second law of motion

Explanation:

Newton's second law of motion can be stated  

The acceleration of an object as produced by a net force is directly proportional to the magnitude of the net force, in the same direction as the net force, and inversely proportional to the mass of the object.

in another form,

Force = mass * acceleration
